Eight graduates of CUNY senior colleges who have been accepted by and intend to attend American medical or graduate schools are given the Jonas Salk Scholarships each year. Awards are given based on academic achievement, particularly on scientific research that students have carried out while still undergraduates. Students are chosen by the Salk Award Selection Committee based on their potential to significantly advance medical research. The pre-medical offices on campus are where students must submit their scholarship applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Salk Scholarship recipients get a total of $8,000 over the course of four years to assist in covering the costs of education for doctoral degrees in biomedical sciences, M.D. and D.O. degrees, and other related degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
